NON Turbo engine problem
« on: 06 June 2006, 19:15 »
Can hear a tappety noise thats comming from the top of the block. This is on a NON turbo mk4 gti 1.8 20v.

There is no back pressure and the oil doesnt seem to 'flick' out of the oil cap when running.

Is this normal?

It sounds like its running dry and the oil level is perfect. no coolant / oil mix

Could this be the oil pump. this a common thing?

I'm not familiar with this engine but could it be that your tappets need adjusted or if they are hydraulic, they could be worn or gumed up.

thought it was a clogged oil pump. flushed and changed the oil.

VW specialist said it could be the exhaust manifold but i cant hear an air leaks from the manifold when i do a leak test.


sounds well crap. Looks like 'Goldy the mk4 four' will have to be treated by the pro's :cry:

just as i thought


timing belt was soooo loose that it hit the belt cover. :shocked:

The belt almost skipped a tooth :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:


to add insult to injury...Some numpty had air gunned the lock nut to the wheel (which rounded) but my dad got that out in a few minutes using his 'Old skool skills' :cool:
